It's with a big thumbs-up to the rules committee that the Q&A section has been revised and made a case section of the rules.

They've finally made the Q&A section of the PDGA Rules on the official website binding: They now represent official rules interpretations for the various cases presented. They've also removed a bunch of fluff and ambiguous rulings.

The matter was discussed officially at the end of 2011, voted upon, and passed.

You can find notice on the PDGA website under About Disc Golf -> Rules -> Q&A. For those too lazy to click:

As of January 1, 2012 the PDGA Rules Q&A are considered to be authoritative and stand alongside the PDGA Official Rules of Disc Golf and the PDGA Competition Manual for Disc Golf Events as the rules that govern competition in the sport of disc golf. Uploaded 1-3-2012.

Read-up on your case rulings, folks. They now represent binding decisions by the rules committee. The revised list is much cleaner, and while there is still some ambiguity, it is a huge improvement over the broadly interpretted rulings responses we've come to expect from the PDGA._________________Privacy is a means to democracy, not an end in itself. - unknown
